Sunday’s 3 Strikes

1. Chris Carpenter is slated to pitch versus the Braves at Atlanta WEDNESDAY. He should be claimed in ever league. If you want to sit him for the first start, that’s understandable, but I won’t be.

2. Casey Blake is now supporting Dodger Blue. The Dodgers gave up RHP Jon Meloan and catcher Carlos Santana, two “interesting” prospects for Blake, who will provide a marginal upgrade at best.

3. Though not the 3rd most important thing from Sunday (that might have been the Sox saying they’d be okay trading Manny right now if possible)…but this deserves a special shout out: Mike Hampton pitched (quite poorly though). What’s next Carl Pavano?
